NEHES would like to thank everyone who attended this year’s Fall Conference. It was a great event, with excellent education sessions and networking opportunities.
Many thanks to the Rhode Island Chapter who hosted this year’s conference. The weather could not have been more perfect in Newport.
Thank you to Siemens, the NEHES Annual Sponsor and to all the Sponsors and Exhibitors for this year’s conference. NEHES could not have the conference without the support of our Sponsors, Exhibitors and Supporting Members.

Well NEHES it is October. The 2021 Fall Conference is behind us, and the transition to a new board of directors is ahead of us. The fall conference this year was held in Newport, RI with attendance lower than normal. I think that was fully expected given the current state of affairs with the ongoing pandemic. Despite the lower attendance, I feel the conference was a success and wish to thank the planning committee, especially to CJ Brown, conference chair. Thank you again to CMP for all their hard work in pulling it all together. Looking ahead to 2022 at the goals I have put forward for NEHES:
Mechanical cleaning of coils every 6 months is not effective so Healthcare facilities need solutions to control bacteria, mold and viruses including Covid-19 in HVAC systems 24/7. Steril-Aire UVC Systems are a CDC approved technology to improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), reduce Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) and associated liability costs. Steril-Aire UVC Systems are backed by a 2 ½ year peer reviewed ASHRAE study of 6 NE hospitals. Not All UVC Systems are the same.
Health Facilities Management ASHE's Energy to Care program features a number of tools and resources to help facilities meet their sustainability goals.
